Abstract
Recent advances via internal and external asymmetric induction in the asymmetric Pictet – Spengler reaction employed in the synthesis of indole alkaloids are described. Mechanistic studies on the diastereoselectivity, important reaction intermediates, possible mechanisms of the cis to trans isomerization, as well as recent organocatalytic approaches have been highlighted.

Exploring the Role of Chemical Graph Theory in Advancing Current Organic Synthesis
Organic synthesis is a fundamental discipline in chemistry, crucial for the creation of complex molecules with diverse applications in pharmaceuticals, materials science, and beyond. However, the process of designing efficient synthetic routes for target molecules remains challenging. Chemical graph theory, a branch of theoretical chemistry, offers powerful tools for understanding ...read more
